Woven fabric consumption formula.

Dear All,

Today I will describe you the Woven fabric consumption formula.

Before calculate the woven fabric consumption, you must need the followings information as mentioned below:

1) Measurement chart with technical spec.
2) Style Description.
3) Fabric Description.
4) Fabrics width/weight.
5) Washing shrinkage if any.

This formula is as under :

Formula = Length X Width / Fab width X Fab Unit

Here,

Length = length of the specific parts + allowance

Width = width of the specific parts + allowance

Fab width = Fabric width ( after considering the shrinkage allowance).

Say,

fabric width is 45" & the shrinkage allowance is 1", Then the Fabric width will be (45"-1") = 44" in the formula.

Fab unit = Fabric calculation unit,here it will be 36 because we are going to calculate the consumption in Yards.

Now we will calculate the consumption of a Shirt (front part)

Center front length = 32"+1" (Sewing allowance) = 33"

Width (Chest) = 24" + 1" (Sewing allowance) + 3" Pleat Width (1.5X2) = 28"

= Length X Width / Fab width X Fab Unit

= 33" X 28" / 44" X 36"

= 924" / 1584"

= 0.5833333

= 0.59 Yards. (for front part)
